Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy artefact of Roman date. No exact parallel could be found for this object but it is similar to the terminal of PAS record no. BH-38B407, recorded as a 'mount'. A parallel for BH-38B407 was found in excavations at Wanborough, Wiltshire (see Anderson et al., 2001, p. 85, no. 52), in a 4th to early 5th century context, and is recorded as a 'strap-end'.The piece is drop-shaped in plan, with a moulded knob at the point. The wider, bottom edge is jagged, the object having been broken, probably in antiquity. The upper surface is slightly convex and the underside is concave. Extending from the centre of the underside is an integral rivet of sub-square section. The end of this rivet has been flattened to secure it to a strap.The object measures 18.2mm long, 12.3mm wide and 7.9mm deep. The weight is 2.29g.
